How is this relevant? I didn't say we should allow smoking everywhere, or that smokers don't need to exercise basic courtesy when they are around non-smokers. I said it's not my business whether someone else decides to be a smoker or not.
- 1992spacemovie 2y agoYou're approaching HN discussions in a clear, linear fashion. You can't do that. You gotta be more autistic.
- tail_exchange 2y agoJokes aside, the level of discourse on HN is miles ahead places like Reddit and Twitter. HN's comment section is fantastic compared to them.
